Linux Case Problems

[Sombre]

As many of you know, Linux users need the case of the graphics files declared in the .dm to match the case of the actual filenames. So #spr1 being "dude.tga" in the .dm and the file actually being called "Dude.tga" would cause a crash for them.

So I'm making this thread for Linux users to point out which mods have these issues and post updated or 'fixed' versions if they want. I will try to observe the Case Problem from now on, when updating and making mods, but I am no longer happy to go back and alter my mods when you guys could do it faster (having error messages actually telling you which filenames have problems) and it's you who has the problem, not me (works fine on my computer).

I don't want to be rude or confrontational - I have already go out of my way to sort the problems out for the few linux users who have given me feedback. I just want you guys to be able to sort this out amongst yourselves :]

So here's the thread.

Feel free to bash windows for being stupid too. Although given that all mods work fine under windows and only some of them work under Linux, it seems like for dom3 modding at least, windows has the upper hand (clearly a HUGE sales feature).

Okay, let me show you a little bash magic that I just used to find problems:
Code:

---

grep "\./LAModNations" LAModNations.dm | sed 's/^[^ ]* "\(.*\)"$/\1/g' | sort -f | uniq > want

find ./LAModNations -type f | sort -f > have

diff want have

---

This shows me inconsistencies between my LA mod and the actual files. Some of them are only additional or old files that can be safely removed, but some show real problems. I'll give you an update shortly.

Amazing stuff LCH.

I guess my geeky level is 5. I can actually read and understand all of what you did. But I couldnt have possible whipped it out off the top of my head.

Ah, that's nothing against the awk stuff that somebody else here posts from time to time (DrP it is, I think?). I use gawk sometimes, too, and love it.
